Abstract

The present invention provides lipid compositions comprising linolenic acid (LA), alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), stearidonic acid (SDA) and gamma linolenic acid (GLA), said LA and ALA in a ratio of about less than 2:1 LA:ALA. The compositions find use in for improving, treating, or preventing a condition selected from the group consisting of: eczema, dry skin, flaky skin, pruritus, pyotraumatic dermatitis, furunculosis, dry paw pads, rough paw pads, chapped paw pads, paw pad durability, dry rhinarium, chapped rhinarium, split claws, brittle claws, rashes, hairless spots, hot spots, symmetrical lupoid onychodystrophy, skin ulceration, skin crusting, reddening of skin between toes, external ear infection, and nutritional dermatosis.
